With 50 attorneys operating out of the firm’s office in Houston, Beck Redden has established itself as a Texas powerhouse and often appears in the top tier in national rankings. Beck Redden attorneys thrive in the courtroom.

Trial Trio

Beck Redden was founded in 1992 by three Texan trial attorneys who had a vision to open a firm solely focused on litigation. Since the day it opened, the firm has remained true to that commitment to the courtroom and is now renowned for its dominance in trial and appellate litigation.

Litigation All the Way

Beck Redden attorneys are litigation champs. They take on cases of all sizes and matters, representing clients from individuals to Fortune 500 companies. The firm’s expertise extends beyond individual cases and into class actions and multidistrict litigation proceedings relating to securities, consumer warranty, breach of contract, insurance compliance and pricing, oil and gas, antitrust, Fair Credit Reporting Act, and ERISA issues. Young associates at the firm benefit from significant hands-on litigation experience early in their careers, and they are supported by a mentorship program. The firm’s associate compensation matches the Cravath scale.

Some of Beck Redden’s high-profile clients include ExxonMobil, Chevron, and Wells Fargo. In perhaps one of the firm’s most prolific cases, Beck Redden secured a dismissal of all claims—including claims consolidated in a multidistrict litigation—against Cameron International Corporation in the multibillion-dollar Deepwater Horizon litigation.

Community All-Stars

Beck Redden’s small group of lawyers has a big community impact. Attorneys firmwide are generous when it comes to offering pro bono services in the Texas community, including through organizations like Houston Volunteer Lawyers and Lone Star Legal Aid. Beck Redden lawyers also bring their generosity to the community in ways like working with local food banks, churches, and education facilities. Multiple individual attorneys also serve in prominent roles in the bar.

• Served as lead counsel for Cameron International Corporation in the multibillion-dollar multidistrict litigation and federal investigations stemming from the April 2010 oil spill at the Deepwater Horizon deepwater drilling unit operating offshore Louisiana. After six weeks of trial, the court found Cameron not liable to any claimant and dismissed the corporation from the proceedings.
• Represented Enterprise Products Partners in a landmark case before the Texas Supreme Court, which rejected a $535 million jury verdict and enforced the parties’ contractual conditions precedent to partnership formation. The unanimous decision left the client with no liability and clarified Texas law on unintended partnerships.
